At the date of the last COZ solidased returns the army consisted o, s,sao officers and 24,236 men, includ. ing Indian scouts.

The recent discovery of . fabulously rich gold mine in Yavapai county csr- ries out the repeated assertions of the Arizonan that in the way Of minerals, Arizona has not half been psospected. By this we refer only to surface work. as there are but fev claims ia the teni- tory that have been developed to . depth that would entitle them to the designation of ''mines." in the strict in depreciation of the :erm. The old ssy- ing that there are as good iish in the sea as have ever been caughs' applies with equal force to the mineral wealth of Arizona. Although there have been mary rich discoveries in the past. there is a probability of othefs of even great- CT value being made in the future This Is not a country that has been repeated. ly worked over. and in the future vill give greater bullion output than as any period in the past-Arizonan.

 monster has been washed up on the

 means of getting it in the bseakess and bleaching fl, dead. The sea birds hA.e somewhat eaten it in places. but there is enough of the creature left to soggest the idea that it is veritable sea serpent aud closely resembles the one seen last summer of the Jersey coast. though not So large by ten or fifteen feet.
 It was discovered by H. ". Hand, IT,, and Harry Ludlam, of this city. as they were gunning for meadow bids. The boys thought t to be loG that had been stranded. but on closer examina- ,ion their minds were disabused ot the idea. The lads measured it with their guns and found 1t to be eleven and half feet lsng, and the body two feat thick, just back of the head, which is shaped like whales and from which point the body tapers gradually to its pointed tail. Coarse. thick hair covers its shark-hke skin. and . mouth large enough to take in one Of the discover CTS was found armed with sharp, cutting teeth.
 An old fisherman vas asked to-day what he thought of the monster.

Sah river valley has been termed, and
 appropriately so, the garden spot of
 Arizona. There IS no ether section Of the territory to-day having as extensive an
 area under cultivation in the production of all kinds of cereals and fruits. Elk tenslve canals. aggregaling several hun- dred miles in length have been built for irrigation purposes, and under which there are thousands of acres under cul- tlvation, and thousands more capable Of cultivation. for which good and sui
 hcient water supply Can be obtained from these canals. All kinds of gain, alfalfa and fruits can be raised on these lands, which are of superior fertility. Fruits mature and ripen several weeks earlier than Tn the famous fruit belts Of California, and there IS no country which offers the inducements fol settlers seeking place to build homes as are offered in the Salt river valley of Ari- zona Readers of the JeTRNAL-MINER, both in this territory and in the essI, will find in this paper the advertisement of J. w. Evans, the pioneer real estate agent of Phenix, from whom all iniorma- tion concerning the valley can be obtain ed, and purchases of either farming land or city property can be made During the past few years NIT. Evans has neso- tiated the sale of more property than all the other agencies combined, and hay ing been resident of the territory for years IS thoroughly familiar with every detail of its resources.

Water storage and the development
 of the underflow water Tn the valleys of
 Arizona and New Mexico is an impor,-
 ant matter, which the federal govern
 ment should pay some attention to.
 There are millions of acres now unpro-
 ductive in the southwest, simply because of lack of surface water. Sufficient water can be developed to irrigate and bring every acre under cultivation, and once made productive it will readily yield t~o crops annually. How important it is that the federal government make ap- preparations for the purpose of reclaim ing this land, which reclaimed, can easily find purchasers at from ten to twenty-five dollars per acre. Storage reservoirs, great irrigating canals and ar- tesian wells should be provided by the government, and the cost of construct ing and mai, taining the same could be taxed to the land A better and safer cannot be made by the gov ernment. Such internal improvements as this suggests will bring it's own re- tnrn in the sale of lands, and more, 1t would create homes for tens Of thou sands of families.-Star.

The cosored population ol Chattaboo- chic, Florida, are excited over a remark able freak of nature which is attract ing great attention, and hundreds of people are coming miles to see il. At Barney Hill . small colosed settlement ten miles from there. . colored woman some weeks ego. gave birth to a boy child that nearly s.ared them all to death. The infant was healthy and well developed when born. and has cen tlnued in good condition since. but the strangest part is the color It is divided into two halves, as t were. one repre- senting ths Caucasian and the other the African race. One side from the center of its forehead down is as black q boal. while its other is equally white and fair. Another monstrous freak of the same nature Is shown by sbe fact that the Caucasian side has thick hps and flat nose. kinky hair and black eye. in fact. all the African character istics. while the dark side has good features. blue eye and soft silky hair. It is in perfect health and grows fast Its arTival created . terrible hubbub in the settlement. and the negroes were inclined to regard it as an omen of evil. H. H.
